I went shopping for my trip today. I bought some awesome clothes at Costco and REI. At REI, I saw this Fedora, Indiana Jones style. It. Was. AWESOME!!! I didn't buy it because it was almost 40 bucks, but i'm kind of considering going back and getting it. The other clothes I got were just great too. I really can't wait to wear them on the trip. I'm ( Read more... )

I leave for Israel two weeks from today. I leave for New York on the 14th. I think my fear is starting to be replaced by complete excitement. I'm leaving in a few minutes for my last trip orientation tonight. I won't be there long, but I have a few questions to ask that I need to have answered before I go ( Read more... )

50 bucks! I spent 50 dollars to fill up my car today. This is getting dangerous. Today I watched a bit of a movie that was made in 2000, and in the movie they went by a gas station where the price to fill up was $1.13 a gallon. Oh those were the days ( Read more... )

Overall, I'd say Memorial Day Weekend was pretty good. I got out of work about 45 minutes early on Friday, and didn't do a whole lot that night, granted. But I made the most of the gorgeous day that Saturday gave to us. I went for a nice walk in downtown Kirkland along the pier. I saw a humongeous yacht there. It must have been at least 50 feet ( Read more... )

Wow! It has been a very long time since I updated this. I had a thought last night that I really should start keeping a journal more often because I know these memories will only grow in importance as I grow older. I know I have made this promise before, and have failed before, but I know I am a fan of nostalgia, and what can possibly be more ( Read more... )

Daylight savings is killing me. For the past few days I have found it so incredibly difficult to get up in the morning, partially because it is still dark outside when I do. That was one of my most-hated things about school. We had to get up when it was still dark in order to start class by 7:20! That is a ridiculous time for kids to start school, ( Read more... )

So, lately i've kinda been down with divining rod trips. This weekend I just randomly drove around and ended up at the Seattle Aquarium on Pier 54, then I wandered over to the Pike Place Market. The aquarium is nice. The sea otters were adorable and the seals were really cute too. However, for $15 it's a bit of a rip off. Some exhibits are vastly ( Read more... )

So, life is going pretty well right now. I moved out. Yes, finally. I moved to Kirkland and i've started a new life there for the next year or so. (Maybe longer if I like it.) I'm living with my longtime friend Adam. We decided to give the roommate thing a shot, and things are going well. It's been so long that I've lived on my own that I forgot ( Read more... )

Well, the day is almost upon me. I get the keys to my apartment tomorrow! Adam and I are giving the whole 'roommate' thing a shot and we'll see how it goes. It's very exciting. The apartment is in downtown Kirkland and it goes without saying that the location is primo real estate for food, fun, and frivolity. It's also about 15 minutes from work ( Read more... )

I went to the wedding of my old roommate John yesterday, and I can't stop listening to cliche romantic music.

Please, someone kick me in the balls...while I still have them.
